As I find my way through life, I’ve realized that the issues we experience are not here to ruin us, but to show us that we can go beyond our borders and discover even more pleasure.

Couple of years ago, I went through one of the most difficult periods in my life, since my marriage reached the point where it was clear that divorce was the only reasonable solution. The whole process ended fast, and before I even realized it, I became a single father with two young sons.

I felt I was lost in a huge lack of self-confidence and a feeling of confusion. Since my sons were pretty young, I never expected that their positive mindset and attitude would actually wake me up and completely refresh my life, but that’s what happened.

We often feel procrastination is the easy option. And in some ways, it is. There are definite advantages to putting things off.

For a start, it’s naughty – and that’s always more fun than being good. We’re bold non-conformers, beating the system, cleverly sneaking a little advantage. We’re easy riders, zooming on our Harleys along the road of least resistance. And if we’re lucky, things may change and we may manage to avoid doing it at all. Woo-hoo!

Sometimes it’s hard to find enough motivation to get out of bed in the morning, never mind actually trying to achieve something with your day.

It’s a vicious circle, though – the less you do, the less you believe you’re capable of doing. Once you push yourself to get a few things done, you’ll create a positive impetus which will make other tasks easier.
